What Is the League of Women Voters' Mission?

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging

informed and active participation in government. It influences public policy through

education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or candidate.

The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles:

• Voters Service/Citizen Education: we present unbiased nonpartisan

information about elections, the voting process, and issues.

• Action/Advocacy: we are also nonpartisan, but, after study, we use our

positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

To conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we use funds from the

League of Women Voters Education Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit

educational organization. The League of Women Voters, a membership organization,

conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation.

Our Vision, Beliefs and Intentions guide our activities.
